(A Creative Path Workshop Peek) Exercise: Both Hands
Overview:
Designed to balance, center, and activate your whole mind and body, this exercise may surprise you with your what non-dominant hand can do!
Materials:
• 2 sheets of Bristol paper
• Oil pastels, markers, or pencils
Process:
• Take an oil stick in each hand.
• Close your eyes and breathe deeply and slowly for a few breaths.
• Place your pastels anywhere on your paper, and without lifting them, let loose! Let each hand go wild, drawing independently and also interacting with each other.

• Repeat as desired.
